<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060416/od_nm/germany_cat_dc">Cat saves baby's life</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>A cat saved the life of a newborn baby abandoned on the doorstep of a Cologne house in the middle of the night by meowing loudly until someone woke up, a police spokesman said Saturday.<br />n<br />n"The cat is a hero," Cologne police spokesman Uwe Beier said. "Its loud meowing got the attention of the homeowner and saved the baby from suffering life-threatening hypothermia. The homeowner opened door to see why the cat was making so much noise and discovered the newborn."</blockquote><br />n<br />nSo maybe cats are worth more than a lap/bed warmer. You could have fooled me, the menagerie around here is pretty useless.<br />n<br />nI never have understood why somebody would leave a baby like theis. I am glad it's all right though, thanks to of all things a cat.<br />n<br />n<b>If you hold a cat by the tail you learn things you cannot learn any other way. Mark Twain</b>
